Aloe esculenta - 4in

Aloe esculenta, a stunning succulent native to Angola, forms upright rosettes with wavy, heavily spotted leaves and reaches heights of 2 to 2.5 feet. Its pale green leaves, coated with a hazy blue hue, feature solid spots on the upper surface and eye-like patterns below, with rusty-red marginal teeth. This evergreen perennial often suckers to form dense clumps. In winter, it produces towering branched inflorescences up to 4 feet tall, adorned with deep pink flowers and yellow tips. While primarily found in Angola, it was also recorded in Zambia in the early 1990s. Thriving in full sun or light shade, established plants are drought-tolerant, preferring dry woodland habitats. Despite its reported frost sensitivity, it has shown resilience in Southern California, making it an excellent choice for mass planting or adding seasonal interest with its impressive bloom stalks.
